Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Selma
Air duct cleaning in Selma typically costs between $380 and $690 for a full single-system home, and the job is usually completed in half a day. We’re the team at CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve spent years working inside Selma’s 1950s-to-1980s ranch homes, where original ductwork picks up agricultural dust at a rate that surprises most homeowners. If you live near a vineyard row or raisin drying field, the fine reddish-brown residue packed into your supply runs isn’t dust from inside your house. It’s coming in from outside, through leaky attic joints and low-MERV fiberglass filters, and it’s settling deep in your ductwork every time your AC cycles on. Call us at (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any panel comes off.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Selma’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re an independently owned and operated duct cleaning company, established in 2013 and run under the Haven Standard. What that means for Selma homeowners is a written price delivered before work starts, a documented photo record of every duct run on every visit, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. You won’t get an estimate that starts low and climbs once the van is parked outside. You’ll get a number, on paper, that covers the whole system, and we’ll show you what we found inside your ducts with camera footage before and after cleaning. Tomas Reyes, who runs our crews, is the same person you can ask for by name if anything isn’t right after we leave.
We serve all of Selma, including neighborhoods off Floral Avenue, Rose Avenue, and McCall Avenue, plus the older tract home pockets near downtown and the homes that back up to active vineyard rows east of Highway 99. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Fresno, Central Valley office, but crews are scheduled for Selma routes daily, so we know the drive times, the home styles, and the duct issues that repeat block after block.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Selma
Our Air Duct Cleaning work in Selma always starts the same way: camera inspection first, written price second, cleaning third, photo documentation last. That order matters. Without seeing what’s actually inside the duct runs, no one can tell you whether cleaning alone will hold or whether you also need sealing at the attic joints, which is the real fix in many Selma homes. These are the services we run most often in this city.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Homes in Selma run their forced-air systems almost year-round, and the August through October raisin harvest pushes a lot of fine grape-skin dust through supply registers and into return runs. A full residential cleaning includes source removal with agitation tools, negative-pressure extraction, and cleaning of the supply and return sides down to the air handler. We photograph every run before and after, so you’ll see the layer of reddish-brown particulate that was sitting in your ducts, not just hear that it’s gone.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Selma’s commercial buildings, from the packing sheds and ag-adjacent offices along Highway 99 to the retail strips off Floral and Second Street, deal with the same airshed as homes do, but at higher occupancy and often with longer system run times. We clean full commercial duct systems, including long trunk lines, rooftop units, and multi-zone supply runs. The process is documented the same way: camera before, camera after, written record of what came out.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Selma’s older ranch homes are the first place grape-skin dust shows up. These are the runs that push conditioned air into your rooms, and when attic joints are disconnected, they pull in whatever the valley air is carrying that week. We clean supply runs with mechanical agitation and negative pressure, then inspect every joint with a camera. If we find disconnections, which we do on a high percentage of 1950s-to-1980s homes, we’ll document them and give you a written price to seal them properly.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts in Selma pull air from the living space back to the air handler, but in homes near drying fields and vineyard rows, they often pull soil particulates and fine agricultural dust from crawlspaces and attics at the same time. Some of the worst return runs we’ve opened in Selma had crushed sections we could only find with a camera, not with a visual inspection at the register. Cleaning the return side properly means finding those restrictions first, and that’s why we inspect before we clean.
Full System Cleaning
When we clean a full system in Selma, we’re cleaning the supply runs, the return runs, the plenum, the blower compartment, and the air handler cabinet. This is the service that makes the most sense for homeowners who haven’t had their ducts touched since buying the house. Especially in Selma’s older homes, where the ductwork is often original and never sealed, a full system clean is the only way to get an accurate picture of what’s actually moving through your vents.
Video Inspection
We recommend video inspection before any duct cleaning in Selma, not as an add-on but as the starting point. The camera shows crushed runs, disconnected joints, dead-end branches, and layers of packed grape-skin dust that a visual check at the register can’t reveal. We include the inspection as part of the job record, and you get the footage. If you’re comparing quotes, a company that doesn’t inspect before cleaning can’t see what they’re leaving behind, and they can’t show you what they actually removed.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Selma
The equipment we use on Selma jobs comes from trade-recognized manufacturers, including Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman. These are professional-grade machines built for source-removal duct cleaning, not shop vacs attached to long hoses. We also keep Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration products available for Selma homeowners who want to upgrade from low-MERV fiberglass filters to something that actually captures the fine agricultural particulate this airshed produces. We’ll name the equipment line item on your written scope, so you can verify what’s being used before you agree to the price.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Disconnected supply runs in attic spaces. Selma’s ranch homes from the 1950s through the 1980s often have original duct runs that were never sealed at the joints. With every cooling cycle, the system pulls outside air in through those gaps, so the ductwork packs full of whatever the valley air is carrying.
- Packed grape-skin dust in supply runs near vineyard rows. Homes within a half-mile of active raisin drying fields or vineyard rows show a distinctive reddish-brown, fine-grained residue deep in supply runs. Standard fiberglass filters can’t stop it, and it builds up fast from August through October.
- Crushed return ducts hidden in crawlspaces. We find crushed return runs in Selma more often than in neighboring cities, mostly because the housing stock is older and crawlspaces were not built for easy access. A crushed return run starves the system of airflow, and you’ll feel it as weak air at the registers long before you see it.
- Reduced airflow by late fall. By the end of October, after months of AC use and harvest-season particulate load, many Selma homes show measurable airflow loss at the registers. The blower motor works harder, the system runs longer, and the dust in the house just keeps circulating. That’s when we get the most calls.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Selma, CA
A full residential air duct cleaning in Selma runs between $380 and $690 for a single-system home, depending on square footage, number of duct runs, and accessibility. Smaller ranch homes with a single return typically land at the lower end. Larger homes with multiple returns, long supply runs, or crawlspace access challenges run higher. Commercial systems are priced by square footage and system complexity, usually between $700 and $1,400 for small commercial storefronts in Selma. We don’t price per vent, and we don’t advertise a cheap entry price that climbs once we’re on site. You’ll receive a written price for the whole system, agreed before work starts, with no exceptions.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Selma
Selma homes need annual duct cleaning because the August through October raisin harvest blankets the city in fine grape-skin dust and dry soil particulates that standard filters cannot capture, and the older ranch-style housing stock, much of it with original unsealed ductwork, pulls those particulates directly into the supply and return runs. The accumulation cycle here is compressed compared to Fresno, where fewer homes sit directly adjacent to active drying fields and vineyard rows. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you the inside of your ducts on camera before you decide.
The reddish-brown dust in Selma ducts is grape-skin particulate and dry soil from raisin drying fields and vineyard rows, with a mix of fine PM2.5 that Fresno County’s airshed carries year-round. For most people it’s an irritant that makes allergies worse and forces the system to circulate dirty air; for anyone with asthma or respiratory sensitivity, the fine particulate load is a real problem we see reflected in filter life and indoor air complaints. Cleaning removes it; sealing the duct runs keeps it from returning as fast.
Yes, in most Selma homes sealing is the single biggest improvement we can make, because the dust isn’t coming through the filter in many cases, it’s entering through disconnected or poorly sealed attic and crawlspace joints, and sealing those joints with the proper materials cuts the particulate intrusion dramatically. We’ll show you the camera footage of the gaps before sealing and the sealed runs after, so you can see exactly what was done. Call (806) 606-6902 to get a written scope for your system.
Because Selma’s older duct systems often have hidden crushed runs, disconnected joints, and packed debris that a visual check at the register can’t reveal, and cleaning without first seeing those problems means leaving the source of the dust untouched. We include video inspection as a standard part of every Selma job, and you receive the footage as part of the documented photo record. You’ll know what was inside your ducts before we clean, and we’ll prove what was removed after.
The worst buildup happens from August through October, when mechanical raisin harvesting and drying operations fill the air with grape-skin dust and soil particulates, and we schedule the heaviest volume of Selma cleanings in September and October as a result. But the smart time to clean is late July or early August, before the harvest particulate load peaks, so your system isn’t running a full season while already packed with the previous year’s residue. We schedule Selma appointments daily. Call (806) 606-6902 to get on the calendar before the harvest window fills up.
